Super fund performance wrap shows stable growth
Market gains throughout December are translating positively for investors, with many super funds set to deliver double-digit returns for the end of this year, according to SuperRatings.
The SR Balanced (60-76) Index used by SuperRatings to measure fund performance recorded a 1.3 per cent rise in November, with the interim calendar year-to-date return now set at 9.9 per cent.
SuperRatings chief executive, Kirby Rappell said resources had delivered strongly against expectations, whilst US markets had continued to deliver positively.
“In a year dominated by political uncertainty, nothing managed to deter the global rally we’ve seen since the start of the year,” he said.
“Despite the mining boom fading from view, resources shares have deliver through 2017 and helped shield investors from an otherwise lacklustre year for earnings.”
